The Scarlet Rose (A Beauty and the Beast Retelling)
A mafia heiress. A desperate bargain. A cursed wolf prince without hope.
Nikita has one goal in life: to take her father’s place in the Bratva syndicate. While her sisters want nothing more than advantageous marriages to wealthy men, Nikita wants control of her own life.
But when her father is tricked into a bargain with Gavriil, the prince of Skazka, to protect her family’s legacy, Nikita has no choice but to steal the portal ring and take his place.
Within the walls of the castle, she finds a spoiled royal, hallways filled with strange statues, and a magic she didn’t know existed.
Tasked with finding a way to break the curse, Nikita spends hours pouring over ancient texts, looking for answers — and a way out.
Her one reprieve is her music. After finding the hidden piano room, she takes her refuge there. Soon, so does Gavriil. Suddenly, the broody enemy is becoming a friend—or something more.
Passions ignite and Nikita must do all she can to save the prince and his people from the curse that could destroy them.
Time is running out. Each day, Gavriil turns more and more into a wolf, losing his human emotions and memories.
If Nikita can’t break the curse, there will be no trace of Gavriil left, and he’ll become the monster he’s always feared himself to be—forfeiting his humanity, and heart, forever.
The Scarlet Rose is a retelling of the traditional Russian Beauty and the Beast fairytale. Set in the world of Skazka, this complete stand-alone novel is full of banter, heart, found family, and romance!

When the royal family announces a week-long celebration—with a ball every other night—her friend offers her a job that lands her in the castle. And right into the arms of the crowned prince of Skazka. Luca isn’t exactly what Mira has pictured, with his mischievous eyes and a kind smile, keeping his own secrets.

Majyk Reborn (The Skazka Chronicles, #2)
Getting my memory back was supposed to fix everything…turns out it might be the worst thing that could have happened.
After returning to Skazka, the last place I want to be is in the Royal Court. My every move is watched, my majyk is getting out of hand, and the one person I thought I could trust is pulling away.

The storms are getting worse, entering the majykal Skazka and blurring the veil between the worlds. Frankenstein’s monsters are right on my heels, with the Glava pushing to destroy what is left of the High Realm. And I am trapped in the middle of it.
